Chapter 1: New School, New Home, New Country!

California is really different from England! Why is it so hot outside? I really do miss the rain, however! Although I love to get my rugby sweat on—sorry, I mean football for my American friends—I don't enjoy being sweaty. I know, it should be the other way around.

I had time to get to know Samantha and Joe, who I believe will wind up being my two greatest friends, because I arrived here two weeks before school started.

I strolled around the parking lot, taking in all the pampered kids' top-of-the-line sports vehicles as they pulled in to park. Come on parents, giving your kids everything they want would just spoil them and prevent them from appreciating the minor things in life. Still, how I envied them!

owwwww I was violently knocked from my thoughts. When I turned to beat the driver who dared to ram his vehicle into my leg, the mother of all sports cars—a silver BMW hybrid sports car—caught my sight. Ahhhhhh!! I had just heard rumours that they were beginning to sell them, but I didn't believe the ordinary Joe could begin purchasing them. However, neither the students nor the driver, Ian Marsh, were average in any way.

I forcefully flung my arms up in the 'what's your issue' sign after wiping my saliva off my chin, then I continued past the lunch tables outdoors and up the stairs into the school's equivalent of hell!

On my first day at an American high school, Samantha and Joe were already there waiting for me at my locker, and I was excited to meet them right away!

Joe! Sam! I tightly hugged each of them.

They both yelled Mia!!! in response as we both gasped for oxygen.

What do you have first, then? I prayed and hoped that at least one of them would be in my lesson when I inquired!

They both rummaged through their class schedules before saying, erm.

I'm into sports! Oh, yes! Joe raised his fist in the air because, like me, he loved football.

I've got drama! Nobody can dispute Sam's theatrical nature, even if she almost yelled during the last section.

So what do you have, Mia? While we both did our best to ignore Sam, Joe inquired. Oh, I should have checked myself.

I rummaged about in my panda-style backpack looking for my schedule. I located the sheet in the bag's corner, and when I held it up to the light...

i have... My face became numb, and I was unable to speak! Why just me? Why does this happen? "nooo! Maths! Ughhhh! I'm very unlucky.

I threw my head down in anguish and started to frantically shake my shoulders up and down while pretending to weep.

We all started laughing as Joe and Sam each took a shoulder to compassionately pretend pat me better. Wow, even after just two weeks of getting to know these two, I already feel like they know me better than any of my pals back home.

I watched them both in awe as they giggled and spoke between themselves. Sam's dark brown eyes glistened with delight as Joe cracked jokes. Her light pink lips properly encircled her pearly white teeth, and her sun-kissed skin had adorable dimples on her cheeks. She had my tiny, curvy form, but she was shorter than I was at 5 feet 5 inches.

However, it was nothing compared to Joe's 6 foot, strong physique, which was a result of all the football he had played. With his infectious grin, spiked dirty blond hair similar to mine, and brown eyes, he was pretty attractive.

We said our goodbyes and headed to class as the bell sounded and the hallways started to empty. Before I became lost, I had only gone a short distance down the hall! I was lost and had forgotten to ask Sam or Joe for assistance, GREAT!

I went about the hallways for a long, attempting to figure out the door number system while gazing down at my class schedule, until I crashed into a wall, losing my balance and landing on my arse! owwwww! Could things be much worse today?

I turned to look up and saw a tall, about 6 foot 4 inch Ian Marsh who was quite attractive! My gaze slowly moved up his god-like figure, starting with the tight black top that displayed his strong muscles underneath, and ending with his face. Wow, with a face like that, he must have been a model! He had light hazy eyes that could melt your heart, as they did mine, and a defined jaw and cheekbones. not to mention those gorgeous, pink lips that are just begging to be kissed! All I wanted to do was stroke his short, coarse black hair with my fingers while rough-housing his lips against mine!

He had sun-kissed complexion, which appeared to be a common trait among California residents! With my pale complexion, I was very envious of them. Wow, due to the awful English weather!

He grinned a bit, oh no, he saw I was looking at him! To shake myself out of my fantasy, I shook my head.

Watch where you're going, I said. I made an effort to seem cool in order to hide my shame at both looking out the oh-so-popular football team captain and falling on my behind in his presence. As heat flowed to my cheeks and I began to flush from recollections of his body, I stood up and brushed myself off while keeping my face down.

You're the one who walked into me, I was standing still, His grin broadened as he raised his hands in a protective manner.

I simply need to go to class, whatever." He wrapped an arm around my waist and I was unable to push past him.

Wow, tiny monkey, are you sure that's not a British accent I can hear? His face was now split in two by the grin. I ignored him however since I was too preoccupied with attempting to escape his hold.

Did you just refer to me as a monkey? I drew back, turned to face him, growled angrily, and waved my finger in his direction.

"Yes, unmistakably British! If it's even possible, you've become more seductive. I couldn't help but stare at him in confusion as he gave me the equivalent of an eye rap. He fixed his gaze on my face and the dark blue eyes I had. I disguised the heat that was flowing to my cheeks by tucking my long, filthy blond hair behind my ear and concentrating on the ground as I began to feel a little embarrassed. Does he find me attractive?

I had large eyes that were out of proportion to my little frame, a heart-shaped face, and high cheekbones. Despite my modest size, I had wonderful breasts, and because I had played football for many years, my body had a little bit of muscle. I had a great 6 pack instead of terrible muscle on my arms!

Once I had collected myself and calmed down, I tried to flee once again. He extended his hand in front of me, but I quickly sidestepped it and fled along the hallways.

Bye, monkey! Why monkey? I overheard him yell as he followed me down the corridors. He was beginning to really annoy me. At the twin doors at the end of the hallway, I paused.

Bye you prick! Until he called again for my attention, I yelled, turned, and walked away.

You'll be sorry, monkey, for saying that. What!?! He'll be sorry he ever called me a monkey! He is now really getting on my nerves! And if he believes that I would grovel at his feet like every other female in the school, he should reconsider!

I yelled back, Bring it!!! with assurance. Oh my, did I just say that? I was truly afraid when I saw his cheeky smile, which screamed, Challenge accepted, because what could he possibly do? I shook my head since I needed to focus on going to class.

Ian's Perspective

Aaron and I were having a conversation when a little but hot female smacked into me! At first, I was furious, but as I caught a glimpse of her piercing blue eyes examining me, I had... fallen in love! She seemed to be gazing deeply into my soul when her eyes first met mine, and I felt at ease being around her right away. Was this what they mean by love at first sight? I had never felt anything like this before.

When she understood I had seen her looking at me, her exquisite heart-shaped face, which was framed by filthy blond hair and those lips, became scarlet. All I wanted was to lick those lips! I've made up my mind to claim her as my own, and I always get my way!

Watch where you're going, I said. Oh, she is a tough one. I enjoy difficulties!

You're the one who walked into me, I was standing still, I raised my hands in a combative manner, but I couldn't help but smile at her. It could have come out as harsh, but I wanted to see how far she would go with this—or whether, like most ladies, she would simply give in right away because of my good looks or my wealth!

I simply need to go to class, whatever." She's attractive, but I was upset that she was giving up so easily. I assume she's just like the others, which is unfortunate.

What accent, however, is that? I adore accents on ladies, but I love British ones even more. Is that British? She made an attempt to flee, but I was enjoying toying with her and wanted to hear more from her. So I encircled her waist with my arm... Just by touching her, this shot electrifying impulses through my body. Not like me, this!

Wow, tiny monkey, are you sure that's not a British accent I can hear? I gave her my biggest grin to see what I typically witness: females tumbling at my feet. But this time, she retaliated!

Did you just refer to me as a monkey? She backed away from my hold and turned to face me, pointing a long finger in my direction. Wow, even her fingers were gorgeous!

"Yes, unmistakably British! If it's even possible, you've become more seductive. Before I could stop myself, the words came out of my lips! I never make mistakes like this. I always handled it gracefully!

She seemed to be upset by my statement, and once she had calmed down, she tried to flee once again. yet I wasn't finished! She evaded my attempt to block her and sprinted down the hallway as I raised my arm to do so. I halted! That surprised me; you responded faster than most of the players on my football squad, I'm amazed! Shaking my head

Bye, monkey! Before she entered the double doors, I called after her and she stopped as I screamed down the hallway. What she was about to say next surprised me!

She yelled back, Bye, prick! I was mistaken—she does strike back! She turned aside once again.

You'll be sorry, monkey, for saying that. QUIT TALKING! I exclaimed to myself! I didn't pay attention however since I wanted her back and to be near her.

Oh gosh, it infuriated her so much. With confidence, she yelled back, Bring it!!! Oh, I like her! I remained there for a while, thinking only about her. prior to Aaron taping my shoulder,

You okay, man? What was the purpose of that? He questioned me, more surprised than I was by my actions.

"I'm not sure... Do you recognise that person? Even her name eludes me! How could I not have recalled the name of someone so attractive?

Without a doubt, Oh she must be the new girl, but I don't know her name! She obviously doesn't know who I am or who my family is, which explains why she didn't respond like other females. Nevertheless, she ought to be aware of the Marsh brand since our firms have a global market value in the millions. Oh, the pleasure I'll get from spending more time with her!

This year is going to be great! I chuckled as I headed to arithmetic class, still seeing her...

Chapter 2: Late

Mia's Perspective

After searching for ten minutes, I located my room! When I threw open the door, I was suddenly the centre of attention.

I gently approached the instructor, who had a scornful expression on his face.

Not a good beginning, miss. Before locating mine, he combed through the disorganised mound of papers on his desk and said, "Miss Mia Owens. I'm Mr Kay, your maths instructor. I examined him from head to toe; from his dingy, out-of-date brown check pattern suit to his dingy, comb-over grey hair, he looked 60 although I'm assuming he was in his 40s. yet though the
